Yes Evan, this makes it work from AppFinder.    Exec=Terminal -x iptraf

The file looks as follows:

/usr/share/applications/iptraf.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=IPTraf
Comment=Network Monitor
Categories=Application;Network
Exec=Terminal -x iptraf
Icon=
Terminal=true
StartupNotify=true

Thanks to all.
